Hi
I was wondering if anyone here can help me?
For a while now i have been waking up loads during the night for a wee. I have been getting lots of boils (one of them has not healed after 5 months).
I went to my doctor who sent me for a fasting blood test about four months ago, this came back normal.
I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) which is known to course type2 diabetes. I was prescribed Metformin by my Gynecologist to treat it. People with PCOS are at high risk of developing type 2. And this is thought to be a good prevention and also helps with the symptoms of PCOS. However as i could no longer afford the medication i had to stop taking it.
*The gyno clinic did test my levels at the time and thought it was boarder line.
Now i have given you a little history here is my confusion .
My mate (who is a brittle diabetic 1) was visiting this week and she tested my blood with the needle thingy, at different times during the day including first thing in the morning, my levels were coming up as between 7.8 to 9.5. The 9.5 was first thing in the morning b4 i had anything to eat or drink, 2 hours after my evening meal it was around 8. The 7.8 was before food at lunch time.
She said i should go back to my doctor and discuss it with him, but my doctor (who is the only one in the practice) is not very easy to talk to and can make me fell silly and a waste of time.
So do you think i should speak to him about these readings or am i just being silly/
